I have the K&amp;N CAI. I've always been a fan of K&amp;N and I really like mine. The filter cone seems smaller than a lot of other CAIs; don't know if that matters any though. K&amp;N says I will get 15rwhp increase guarenteed. They even sent me a dyno printout from a 05 GT they ran with and without their CAI and yep, 15 increase. Also the K&amp;N doesn't require a tune.

Speaking of such, I havn't cleaned my filter in months. It's probably coated in dead bugs and dirt by now. [sm=lol.gif]

Whatever you think looks better
That about sums it up. That and get a tune with it no matter what. Bama is better at autos supposedly, but I doubt you could feel the difference, and Brenspeed is faster and quicker to send things out, because Bama is just Doug right now.

The tune is what makes the most noticable difference

I am going with a JLT/XCAL2 in the spring. I can't wait. I think I will try the 87 tune first....and than work my way up to the 93. Is there really that much of a difference between the 87 and 93 tunes?

I have the Steeda/Brenspeed combo because 1) readily available (no back orders)2)the metal looks good (it's essentially FRPP's add on.) and 3) quick customer service. I'm not going to sit here and argue it's the all out super best (don't have time/money to compare them all), but it works good for me.

For your setup there is no benefit with the racer.....if you start really modding the car then the racer might be better....they will be pretty much the same if all you have is a CAI/Tune

at the bottom of the Brenspeed page there's a Demolet Tuneable Induction CAI that has a Carbon Fiber look and is only like $15 more than the JLT2... anyone have this CAI or know about it? i never hear it come up in CAI discussions... why is that?
